358 <application>MPlayer</application>
359 to link dynamically to this library instead of the default statically
360 linked method. If you desire to build the shared library, add
361 <option>--enable-shared-pp</option> to the <command>configure</command>
362 script. Note that the <application>FFmpeg</application> package can also

372 pass a total of nine additional options to the

438 <para>The recommended method to set up a font for
439 <application>MPlayer</application> is to link a TTF file to
440 your <filename class="directory">~/.mplayer</filename> directory. A link
441 should be created in each user's home directory who may use
442 <application>MPlayer</application>. For example:</para>
443
444<screen><userinput>install -v -m750 -d ~/.mplayer &amp;&amp;
445ln -v -sf /usr/share/fonts/X11-TTF/luxisri.ttf \
446 ~/.mplayer/subfont.ttf</userinput></screen>
447
448 <para>There are several other ways to set up a font package. To use a
449 prerendered <application>MPlayer</application> font package, extract
450 and link one of the font tarballs using the following commands:</para>
451
452<screen role="root"><userinput>tar -xvf ../&mplayer-font;.tar.bz2 \
453 -C /usr/share/mplayer/font &amp;&amp;
454chown -v -R root:root /usr/share/mplayer/font &amp;&amp;
455cd /usr/share/mplayer/font &amp;&amp;
456ln -v -sf &mplayer-font;/font-arial-<replaceable>&lt;font size&gt;</replaceable>-iso-8859-1/* .</userinput></screen>
457
458 <para>Available font sizes are 14, 18, 24 or 28.</para>

472 <para>If you want DVD playback with <application>MPlayer</application>,
473 you need to ensure a link exists between your DVD drive and
474 <filename>/dev/dvd</filename>. This process is described in the
